If you haven’t been to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens recently it is really worth a visit! The gardens have grown by leaps and bounds this year. CMBG asked us to design a special cocktail party to thank all of the people responsible for making the gardens grow.
We chose to utilize locally grown produce which we highlighted with our stationary Maine Farmer’s Market display.
On the display we featured Maurice Bonneau’s smoked sausage’s, Pineland Farm and Great Hill cheeses as well as our own homemade artichoke and spinach creme and roasted garlic carmelized onion dip.
To keep the party interesting we served passed appetizers in several waves
Wave One
Maine mushroom, carmelized onion and goat cheese tartlets
Atlantic salmon cakes topped with lemon garlic aioli
Wolfneck Farm beef satay
Wave Two
Gazpacho served in cucumber cups
Chicken brochettes
Sundried tomato stuffed mushrooms
Wave Three
Chocolate Mousse Spoons
Lemon Tartlets
